Looking for long drill bits for electronics. PH000, T5, etc
Can’t seem to find these for some reason. Anybody know of some? 2.5” to 3“ long
Is this a good question?

What is the diameter you are looking for? PH000 and T5 are screw sizes not the threaded shaft of the screw. Are you trying to drill out a broken screw head which is down a mount tube?
If thats the case you really want a left hand drill and carefully hand drill the head out.
This is about all you’ll find as the smaller the diameter the more likely the drill will snap Longboy - Extra length Drills

Sorry, I meant the Marlin Screwdriver Set.
That diameter seems to work fine, but I don’t see it listed on the page. The screws are just deep and my thumb is hurting from using a screwdriver on so many lol
I’m about to just break open the screwdrivers and use a chuck with the bits, but I’d prefer to have them 1/4
@mdeblasi - OK, I guess the issue is not a drill bit to drill, your issue is both the depth of the hole the screws is located in and you also appear to want something powered as well to speed up the process and save your fingers.
If thats correct, dedicated screw drivers would be the better direction as the shank is much longer than the short stubby bits within the tool kits. iFixit sells them as well for many sizes. I have found a few longer bits like what @oldturkey03 pointed out. Its just a matter of how deep the screw is in as some can be quite deep.
To save my fingers I use a power screw driver to help me out, while not cheap its paid for its self a few times over now! SainSmart ToolPAC ES120 Electric Cordless Smart Gyro Motion-Control Rechargeable Screwdriver I have arthritis so it lowers my pain.

mde blasi the only thing with a shank for a power driver that I can see, are the replacement bits on here iFixit Precision 4 mm Screwdriver Bit. Those may not be long enough. Ultimately you either go ahead and “convert” the screwdriver set you have by chopping those off or do an online search for something like this and you can get those in pretty much any length. Just a matter of having to look for it.
